Abstract:Objective:To investigate the effect of short-term very low calorie diet (VLCD) on the weight of hospitalized patients with obesity and the patients’ compliance. Methods:From November 2015 to November 2016, 30 inpatients with obesity or overweight in Zhongshan Hospital received VLCD intervention with total calorie intake of 800 kcal/d (1 kcal=4.186 8 kJ) during hospitalization. The body weight before and after VLCD intervention were compared and the tolerance was observed. After discharge, the diet and weight data were followed up for 6 months. Results:After short-term VLCD intervention for (8±3) d, the body weight decreased from (95.93±23.28) kg to (92.86±22.78) kg (P<0.001). No severe adverse effects were observed. The long-term compliance of patients on VLCD was relatively poor. Conclusions:Short-term VLCD can significantly induce the weight loss in patients with obesity, which is well tolerated. While the long-term compliance on VLCD is relatively poor and should be strengthened in the future. |
